District app gets a new look
The Mounds View Public Schools app has a new look, specifically designed to make it easier than ever to stay connected. While the content (like menus and bus status updates) remains the same, you’ll notice an updated design in the new app.
- Apple/iPhone users don't need to take any action. The app will automatically update to the new version.
- Android users will need to delete the current app from their device and download the new one.
Don't have the app yet? Find it in the App Store or on Google Play. Search Mounds View Public Schools to download the app.
